Wingspan

Wingspan provides affordable professional counselling services for everyone.

22/02/2026

Wingspan provides over 5100 counselling sessions each year. Demand for our services shows no sign of slowing. We work on a wide range of issues and support people of all ages and backgrounds. However, too often financial barriers prevent many people from reaching out for critical help.

In the last financial year, 2120 counselling sessions were provided for $40 or less. Your donation will enable us to ensure professional counselling can remain affordable. Please give generously today to ensure the men in your life can get support when they need it.🔗https://lets-get-the-boys-talking-2026.raiselysite.com/

When money is tight, it’s easy to think:

“I can’t justify spending money on counselling.”
“Other people have it worse.”
“I should just harden up.”

But here’s the truth: Financial stress is a mental health issue too.

It can show up as:
Trouble sleeping 😴
Snapping at the people you love 😔
Constant worry in the background
Feeling whakamā/ashamed about your situation

You don’t have to “earn” the right to feel better.

At Wingspan, we’re committed to making counselling more accessible. We offer:
Affordable counselling options
Space to talk openly about cost
A judgement-free environment – we know times are tough for many in Aotearoa right now

If money is the only thing stopping you from reaching out, please know: it’s okay to message us and simply ask, “What are the cost options?” 💬

Counselling shouldn’t be a luxury only for people with spare cash.
Yet so many people are doing it tough financially and miss out on support because counselling feels “too expensive”.
At Wingspan, we’re here to change that.
We offer affordable counselling options and do our best to keep cost from being a barrier. If money is tight, we can kōrero about:

Lower-cost or reduced-fee options
Short-term, focused sessions
Finding a plan that works for your budget

If you’re unsure whether you can afford counselling, please reach out – it’s absolutely okay to ask about cost. 💬

🧠 Quick wellbeing tip:
When we’re stressed, many of us are barely breathing – taking tiny, shallow breaths without even noticing. This can keep our body stuck in “on edge” mode.
Try this micro-practice you can do anywhere:

🌱Pause – notice your shoulders and jaw.
🌱Soften – gently drop your shoulders, unclench your jaw.
🌱Take 3 slow breaths – in through the nose, out through the mouth, longer on the exhale.

Even a few calm breaths can signal to your nervous system: “I’m safe enough right now.”
You don’t have to do this alone. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and money is a worry, we’re here to āwhina/support.

With floods, slips, power outages, and evacuations affecting communities across the North Island, many whānau are starting 2026 under immense stress.

At Wingspan, we know that even after the rain stops, the emotional impact can linger. Natural disasters can heighten anxiety, strain relationships, disrupt routines, and leave people feeling overwhelmed.
Counselling can help by:
-Providing a safe space to process shock, fear, or uncertainty
-Supporting families navigating sudden changes or loss
-Helping individuals build resilience and coping strategies
-Strengthening mental wellbeing during prolonged recovery periods

If you or someone you care about is finding it tough right now, Wingspan is here.
Reach out, reconnect, and let’s navigate the road ahead — together.
